10th April 2012 – A Day to Remember!

If I am asked what is ‘love’?

My answer will be the day I understand, what is ‘love’; I will be the most beautiful person on this Earth. The word ‘beautiful’ here is ‘inner’ beauty. The colour of flesh and the attitude of your personality might make others attracted towards you but it can never overshadow one’s simplicity and inner beautyJ

Art is one thing that reflects your thoughts and that inner beauty. Yesterday, I went with my art teacher to couple of Art Galleries in Hyderabad. The knowledge, I gathered from these art galleries was like ‘I need one more life to understand art and love’.

For me, love is passion and that passion can be revealed through art or writings or any other creative forms. When someone reads your work or sees it, they get pleased, you are spreading love and that is the definition of ‘love’ for me.

I visited Shrishti Art Gallery and State Gallery of Fine Arts. Both of the art galleries gave me a broader outlook around art and the lives of artists. I got the chance to explore art works by famous artists like – Anjolie Ela Menon, Arpana Caur, Lalitha Lajmi, Rekha Rao, Asma Menon, Anjani Reddy, Kavita Deuskar, Seema Kohli and many upcoming artists.

Each painting was a saga in its own. The detailed intricacies of each painting made me read art. Trust me, reading art is completely different from being an artist. It is like reading someone’s life, thoughts and imaginations. I am glad, I started my fine arts journey as it gave me a reason to learn and see a different world than our world of reality.

My four hours were like watching a world of imagination. You have colours, concept and beautiful blend of reality and imagination. Some paintings had a strong mythological concept whereas some were as pleasant flowers of spring. I experienced, all seasons under one roof in the intense heat of Hyderabad.

The day ended with making a blueprint of blog for my art teacher. I read lot of techie things around copyright or watermark images and how to protect your work of art being stolen. So it was a day of complete learning and new growth for a blogger and writer like me.

I am happy...Life has lot to teach me!

Maybe, I have lot to learn!

A Thought to Start The Week!

Man Proposes, God Disposes!

Man Proposes, God Disposes!

Hope you would have read the post - http://doyouthinkyouareliving.blogspot.in/2012/04/happy-world-health-day-2012-and-happy.html

This is really true when I think about Thursday and my plans to travel to Bangalore then Maharashtra. My husband and friends could make it as per the plans but I am left behind.

(:

My husband had no options as he had to travel due to commitments involved and he was so much in guilt as he was not able to take me along with him. The only factor that stopped me was my ‘health’. Since last afternoon, I caught up with acute ulcer pain that was like you cannot sit or lie down. You keep rolling from end of the bed to the otherJ.

But this reminds me that health is so important. It is one thing, if lost you can never make up for it. My problem is I keep things in my heart and do not vent them out that lead to stress and negative energy trapped within me. This adds to bad health. And now I have a reached a stage where I have to be kept peaceful mentally by medicinesJ

Why am I writing this all for my readers?

Today, it is World Health Day so make sure you learn from this post that how vital your health is for you. Other than being physically fit, one needs to really live a stressful life. I am working on it and I hope next World Health Day would be a better one for meJ

Wishing my all readers a Very Healthy LifeJ

HAPPY EASTER in advanceJ

Link to Two New Stories - Finally Published!!

For any creative person whether a writer or an artist, lot of thoughts come when they are emotional. For me last few days have been like an emotional journey, lot of things are happening around me. The activities are not giving me time to think so my thoughts or emotions are coming in form of stories. I wrote two stories in the last 5 days and I am happy to share the links as below. My web editor, Cathy liked the concept and published them on her site. Here are the links and hope my readers will enjoy reading them:

‘Come stai’ is inspired by my real life incident. It is message to my people and those who think that a question ‘How have you been?’ makes no difference.

34 Letters to God is a real life incident of a friend’s mom that I expressed as a semi-fiction story.

Good nightJ

Good-Byes at Sphoorti

Good-Byes

April starts and so are my good-byes. I am too busy from today as I have to wind up my Fine Art classes. My meetings with editors and publishers before I head for the ‘Electronic City’ of IndiaJ

I would not name it as ‘good-bye’ but maybe as of now my last meeting with my kids at Sphoorti. I went to meet my daughter last evening and it was so much fun to spend time with kids. I have clicked few pictures and I would love to blog it for my readers, friends and familyJ

Sphoorti is the reason that will always keep me connected to Hyderabad. There is no reason not to visit Sphoorti no matter where I am located in the world. Few clicks with my daughter have given me so much love and warmth to be happy for next few months.

GTG....

April Fools’ Day 2012

Happy Fools’ Day 2012

Thank God, April Arrived...I was bored of March 2012J

Today is Fool’s Day, a day that we love to celebrate for no reasons. April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries on April 1 every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. This custom is thought to have started in France during the 16th century but the British are credited with bringing it to the United States.

The day is marked by the commission of good-humored or otherwise funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

The best thing about Fool’s Day is that it gives you an idea about your good friends’ indeed best friends. How?

Friends who can tease you and make a fool of you are the ones who know you in and out. They are the ones who know how you will react to a particular situation or are well aware of your fears and hidden weaknesses (the word ‘weakness’ is not used in a negative aspect). Take any instance from your life and recall this day from this aspect. You will actually realize that the ones who made a fool of you were or are your best friends or the ones who understand you the best!

Happy Fools’ Day!!
